Would you mind sharing the info/link if possible on the HID set up? I really like your set up. Just the bulbs/HID kit

Truck looks great. I have a set of 7k HID's in the same Lightning Style headlights.

You can go one step further and get the crystal "diamond" fog lights also, it will really match up the look.

Truck is spotless btw! And I really would love to visit Alaska at one point in my life.

Pic of my fog lights(still need to get a pic of them on the truck)

i knowwwwww ....i installed a set of diamond fogs in my buddys '97 over a year ago i absolutly love them. i'm just working on the extra funds for them. they look fantastic and i cant wait to have them.

also gonna get some LED tails/3rd brake light. the paint has alot of issues and some dents but i plan to fix that and shave the emblems.

some factory 17s next summer also. right now i'm focusing on getting some snow tires for winter, which is a must have up here.

she did great, i just poped it in 4low and climbed untill it started to spin, i'd just washed it so i didnt wanna get it dirty. its hard to tell from the pics but it was pretty damn steep! backing down was a interesting deal.

heres some pics from today, heading north out to Wasilla,AK no snow yet! warmer then normal temps..its weird!

In the video I noticed something that looked like a farm wagon on the side of the road. What was that? If you hit it with a car or truck it could ruin your whole day, but with a motorcycle it could ruin the rest of your life.
